Metro Bookstore owned by the National Bookstore group from the Philippines!  dsc_6854.JPG

I was not able to go inside but when I saw it from the outside, it was really so attractive, I hope to go back another time.  It is the biggest Organic supermarket in Hong Kongdsc_6834.JPGdsc_6839.JPGdsc_6838.JPG 360elementsorganicstore.jpg

They have an ice skating ring, what was interesting was the penguin that kids were holding on to- what a great feature

Arirang Korean Restaurant

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

Arirang was one of our family’s favorites in HK when we were kids and used to stay often in kowloon side.   We have not been there in a long long time so since this time it was near where we stayed, I suggested we eat there….. and Ned and Janet offered to treat…so I did not object!  🙂  Thanks Ned and Janet for a great meal!!!

We just ordered the basics

Gahlbi – Marinated Prime US beef short ribs

Hyu Gooi – Tongue

Boolgogi -Marinated sliced beef

Funny guy Ned put his teacup on top of the beef while cooking….hmmm… he said they really do that to cook the beef 🙂  I just had to take a photo of it because it was the first time I saw such a way of cooking arirangkorean11.jpg  

Yummy ube/taro ice cream!! It comes with the BBQ dishes already

Prince Restaurant

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

We went to Hong Kong on a business trip and of course set aside important time to dine in between…… dsc_6561.JPG

princesshk-3.jpgprincesshk-4.jpgprincesshk-5.jpg

….And get together with friends and family who were also there – Ned and Janet who came with us, Mich who lives there and my brother Jun Jun and Margs who were also on a businesstrip 

princesshk-6.jpg

It was a good restaurant, the problem was we did not know what to order.  It was recommended by the concierge at the hotel.  Suddenly we are lost without Mom who normally does all the ordering….But anyway we had a great time and it was nice to have Chinese food in Hong Kong 🙂

princesshk-7.jpgprincesshk-8.jpg

Vegetable Rolls and Sauteed Diced Japan Wagyu beef with garlic

Barbecued Eel with honey and a Pork dish 

princesshk-9.jpg

Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab with Spice Salt

Xiao long bao,  Another Unagi dish and fried rice  

princesshk-11.jpg

I forgot the names – this was a yummy beef dish, basic sweet and sour pork and a vegetable dish 

princesshk-12.jpg

Everyone ordered this for dessert – like a mango sago  

princesshk-13.jpg

I took photos of dishes I liked in the menu that we did not order…they looked good 

princesshk-14.jpgprincesshk-15.jpgdsc_6595.JPGprincesshk-16.jpgprincesshk-17.jpgprincesshk-18.jpgprincesshk-19.jpg

These looked good and the head waiter was pushing us to order this…but scary to see a menu with Seasonal price written on it 🙂 where there is no price and you do not know the weight of the seafood. So we did not order anymore

CYMA, Boracay

By | Foodie, Travel | One Comment

Thanks to Gerard, Tessa, Gary, Alexie, Kirby and Mara for inviting us for dinner.  This is our first time to eat in Cyma in Boracay.  We actually got to try the Shangri-la Plaza Mall branch first and we really liked it.  

Don’t leave Boracay without eating here!  Last November we were able to have it as part of the buffet from Jigger and May’s dinner.  It was also very good!!

I ordered the Saganaki!  I like to hear them shout Opa!  🙂 and of course I like the CHEESE!!! In Manila, the kids like it too and they call the dish Opa ( not Saganaki)! Here in Boracay, the guy serving it is muscular 🙂 and fits the part so well….

dsc_5134.JPGdsc_5137.JPG

Make sure to put the lemon 

dsc_5139.JPGdsc_5140.JPG

It is a popular dish because during dinner we heard it about 6 times and I would get “gulat” everytime 🙂 dsc_5151.JPG
